The thing about Lemmy is that it's like jumping from closet to closet, with everyone thinking they're the ones outside. And I don't feel like the exception.
It's an active process to take a moment and consider that maybe the walls we surround ourselves with aren't really that healthy.
One, this is regular news. Nowhere in the title of the community or the rules listed does it say only politics news, far as I've seen.
Two, you'd have to be a moron to consider people who don't think the same way you do as morons.
Three, morons are allowed to participate in society. If you disagree with this, well, good thing we're in the right place to discuss discrimination.
Yes, these are my thoughts on the word's meaning, in large.
A moderate and cautious approach to change.
Absolute refusal of change is the extremism part of this definition that seems to be viewed as its defining attribute instead.
Edit: Maybe this view of mine is flawed, but it's how I see a Conservative party should be. To avoid unchecked progress, maintain stability and implement only rigorously verified policies, in small, but certain steps. Their core tenets are moderation and cautiousness.
Hello there, fellow internet person! Harry Potter fan boy here. I just sort of did. Doubt I'll stop any time soon. And while she might be, I don't know her well enough to confirm your opinion on her.
You're partially right. I am confusing the two, but not the spirit of their meaning, which is "to conserve". Conservation is a force for good, but this political party thing is only focused on the bad.
Why let it occupy the entire meaning and overshadow its better uses? To say "Conservative" with disgust is to ignore its potential for better uses.
Conservative are also the people looking to save various fauna and flora from extinction due to unbridled human activities.
Are they also a plague?
You should avoid bringing negative connotations to words that can be or are a force for good.
Rename the evil if you want, but don't turn away the good as you focus solely on the bad.
Sadly, for those involved, society at large didn't really give a shit enough to teach about every group attacked by nazis. From the history books openly available at the time in my country at least, post communist era, Jews were the main victims, gypsies second and the handicapped or malformed in third place, as per importance in extermination.
That's it.
I doubt her education was better than mine and she seemed willing to accept the updated information as explained in the article, so it's not that she's completely rigid.
And to be unbiased, "deviants from the norm" were attacked in every major country, before and after the nazist period. Book burnings are common enough even now. So linking this exclusively to the Holocaust is in poor taste and denies it being a global issue that has little to do with Nazism itself but rather the causes that elected its rise.
Hearsay and gossip on my part. Haven't been banned on world yet that i can remember, so I have no personal details to give.
But if you have time to waste, scroll through the mod log where available and feel free to agree or disagree with the actions taken.
No social forum is without its zealous rule enforcers. Reddit at some point went past that straight into oligarchic authorianism. Or in less pretentious words, reddit mods were more and more often huge cunts.
Lemmy is more partitioned. Mods only get cuntish on topics they get invested in for now, which is normal, because they're not robots.
It's better to walk away from conflicts here and skip what doesn't fit your views.
Having been here and there and back again, every instance has its zealous moderation depending on the topic.
.world being large, the staff don't have time to care about individual cases and are focused more on removing the conflict. It's less about correctness and more about keeping the peace.
Cassandra’s letter of cancellation, issued by the Department of Home Affairs, states: “As part of the visa application process, you were required to meet section 600.211 which states the visa applicant genuinely intends to stay temporarily in Australia.
“The delegate considered the situation in your home country, including the current conflict, the internal displacement of persons and the difficult circumstances facing ordinary citizens there.
“The delegate considered you never intended a genuine stay temporarily in Australia and therefore the visa was granted based on circumstances that never existed.”
A spokesman for Home Affairs Minister Clare O’Neil said the government could not comment on individual cases.
“The Australian government recognises that this is an incredibly distressing time for Australians with extended family members in Gaza,” the spokesman said. “All visa applicants undergo security checks and are subject to ongoing security assessments. The Australian government reserves the right to cancel any issued visas if circumstances change.”
Basically the gov don't want them to ask for asylum due to the state of war, which they pretty much have to grant.
To be honest, without looking it up, I don't even know how many kids he has.
They did a good job staying out of the limelight or the media is too scared to go after them. Either way, there's little I can say about them.
Nah, for now i rather think one of the oligarchs will eventually come out of the shadows to take over as the public figure while the rest keep them in check as counsel. They've been kept on a tight leash long enough to not want it happen for another generation.
Nah. Context rarely matters.
